Re: How would you rank our last 6 coaches?

6. Greg
5. Wayne
4. Fred
3. Johnny
2. Tim
1. Larry

Those last four could go any way. I have them like I do because Fred, while doing some great things, hasn't sustained it and hasn't taken it to another level yet. I have Johnny where I do simply because he didn't reach the pinnacle the other guys did. Like I said, you can have 1-3 at 1 and I won't argue. When I look at it, I guess I don't know how you put Fred at anywhere but 4 at this point. Like you said, in ten years the story could really change.

Re: How would you rank our last 6 coaches?

1 Orr- built something from nothing
2 Floyd- carried on that idea and set us up for great years
3a Fred- still learning, but has had great early success after coming in with a bare cupboard
3b Larry-used Floyd's talent, but still brought in solid peices like tinsley, Horton. 2 GREAT seasons, which might give him a slight edge. Can't decide though.

4 Wayne decent years in 04,05. Underachieved big time with blalock and Stinson's jr years.

5 McDermott- wasnt a great fit and didnt know how to use players to their skill sets.

I would put Fred above Larry because Fred didn't cause the implosion of ISU basketball and embarrass the program nationally.
Yes, I know, Larry won back to back conference titles.

Re: How would you rank our last 6 coaches?

1. Johnny - winning % not as high as others, but hard to discount his legacy
2. Larry - Good coach, probably great if not for personal issues
3. Fred - He's doing good and he's so green. Wait til he gets 5+ years under his belt
4. Floyd - Not sure how long he could have kept it up
5. Morgan - Had some good players, but cleaerly not HC material
6. ***** - Had some GREAT players, really found ways to lose.

*edit Interesting that it censored #6. Probably a story behind a word that rhymed with McBudd.???
